This blog deals with issues pertaining to natural dignity and worth that all humanity deserves under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. You will find articles about Life issues pertinent to Christian living and faith.

“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

CANADA'S STATE-SANCTIONED EUTHANASIA

As you know, Canada has legalized euthanasia (euphemistically called "medical assistance in dying”). Bill C-14 was enacted under the pretext of assisted suicide. That's not what Canada got. The second federal report on Canada's new assisted suicide law reveals that less than 1per cent of deaths were self-administered. The rest were lethal injections -- administered at taxpayers' expense -- regardless of whether they object! By definition, that's state-sponsored euthanasia not assisted suicide. It is not medical assistance in dying, it is medical killing. Being one of the vulnerable target group, I asked my physician to put the note below on my file. I removed her name as a courtesy. She is not one of the killer-doctors.

American readers of this blog should use Canada as a lesson of what not to do. State-sanctioned euthanasia always turns bad.If you would like me to speak about the perils of assisted suicide or euthanasia, from the perspective of someone who is disabled and has been incurably ill for more than 35 years, send me an email at HumanLifeMatters@shaw.ca
